Pub of the Season Summer 2022 - Beer Shed
High Peak, Tameside and North-East Cheshire Branch members recently voted the Beer Shed micro pub in New Mills as its Branch Pub of the Summer 2022.
The pub is located on Market Street in the centre of New Mills close to the small bus station and New Mills Central railway station. Opened in 2016 this dog friendly pub has gone from strength to strength and provides a pleasant and comfortable place to drink for regular locals and visitors alike. There are usually three changing hand pumped cask beers with one from usually a local brewery plus real
ciders. A positive addition to the real ales and ciders available in the locality. Its unusual layout consists of a long narrow bar with some table seating, a downstairs room and a small outdoor drinking area at the rear.
The Beer Shed is now firmly on the local pub map and is a well established, friendly and welcoming micro pub well worth a visit and which will probably not be your last. The photograph shows Branch Chairman Ben Zwierink presenting the award certificate to Russ Degnan, the licensee.

Closed Mon/Tues
Wed/Thurs 4.00pm to 10.30pm
Fri/Sat 2.00pm to 10.30pm

Pub of the Season Spring 2022 - Gillery
We recently selected the Gillery in Mossley as its Pub of the Season for Spring 2022.The pub opened in March 2020 and has gone from strength to strength since. A one-room bar, with a small side room suitable for small meetings, is complemented by a pleasant outdoor drinking area. Its previous history as a bank is amply evidenced by the architecture of the building, and the polished wooden fittings and wainscoting. The Gillery is ideally situated outside the railway station and on the bus routes from Lower to Upper Mossley. Open from Wednesday to Sunday 12-12, it has four handpumps, and is a good outlet for the local Millstone beers, amongst others.
Pub of the Year 2022 - Silly Country
High Peak, Tameside & North East Cheshire Branch members chose the Silly Country in the centre of Droylsden as their Pub of the Year 2022.
It is true to say that, since opening, the pub has much increased the beer range available in the Droylsden area, and is very popular with locals and others alike. A changing range of beers is offered on four handpumps, with a real cider available on a fifth. This is a pub which is doing an excellent job, with excellent beers and is well deserving of the award. It’s well worth taking the time to visit. Silly Country is situated right in the centre of Droylsden, almost opposite the Metrolink stop and close to several bus routes. Fairfield railway station is a 15-minute walk away.

Pub of the Season Winter 2022 - Windsor Castle.
The High Peak, Tameside and North East Cheshire Branch's Pub of the Winter 2022 award was presented to Robinsons’ Windsor Castle in Marple Bridge. The
licensee, Jo Farrell, has been in charge for 14 years, and these days it is rare to find a licensee dedicated to a particular pub for that length of time. This is a true local and community pub, and is a reflection of the approach that Jo has to managing it, and of her welcoming outlook for all customers.
Jo ensures that the pub is a base for many activities such as the Thursday quiz, Friday or Saturday night entertainment, and sporting events. Many of these activities and others also benefit charities, including an outdoor fruit and vegetable stall on Fridays and Saturdays, which is due to recommence again soon. It is a fine example of the traditional local of the type getting regrettably rarer these days.
Pub of the Season Autumn 2021 - George Hotel, Hayfield
Our branch Pub of the Season for Autumn was presented to the George Hotel in Hayfield on Saturday 20th November. The comfortable and welcoming pub is in the centre of Hayfield village. On cold days there is a real fire in a magnificent old fashioned range to sit by and warm your cockles. A good variety of hand pulled beers from the Marston's stable is available and walkers are welcome. All in all it's a pub well deserving of the award and well worth a visit.
